A semi-popular export, the BSA A50 Royal Star was an evolution of the A50 Star, which was an example of BSA’s transition to full unit construction engines. The Royal Star had a 498cc twin that pushed 33 horsepower through a 4-speed transmission. For more on the Royal Star, check out this article from Motorcycle Classics.
This example has some upgrades to help with reliability, including Boyer electronic ignition, and several new parts – $1,500 was just put into it. The only flaw seems to be a broken odometer (and arguably, the paint color). Find this BSA A50 Royal Star for sale here on Craigslist in Aurora, Ohio for $4,200.
